This terracotta model or statuette is made after the marble figure by Michelangelo in the Medici Chapel in San Lorenzo at Florence by an unknown artist in the 16th century in Italy.
Copies of the Allegories from the Medici Tombs are not uncommon and were, like many of Michelangelo's other sculptures, frequently copied in the Cinquecento and later, usually on a much reduced scale.
Purchased from the Gherardidi collection.

The divine artistFrom Alessandro Allori to Federico Zuccari, an A to Z of prominent artists is going on display at the Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn, Germany. The Art and Exhibition Hall has gathered works ranging from contemporaries of Michelangelo (1475-1564) to present-day artists. Many are well-known names: Raphael, Caravaggio, Rubens, Rodin, Cezanne, Moore, Mapplethorpe. The new exhibition "Il divino" examines how artists have admired, imitated or interpreted the Florentine master through the ages, producing a rich legacy of drawings, paintings, sculptures and films. Michelangelo's work as seen through the eyes of other artists is strange, new and diverse. But there's one thing that isn't on display at this Michelangelo exhibition - and that's Michelangelo.
